NOT THE MEPHISTOPHILES.

Forger Thompson Talks OF the
Crime In Which he was Joint
Participation.
FOrger Thompson Ia penitent; at the
same time he Is indignant because the
public regard him as the mephistopbiles
of the forging drama, whereas he asserts
that the facts are quite the reverse.
He says the forgeries were committed
In order to enable Hopkins to escape
from the difficulties he got into In
Austin where he secured duplicate wit
ness certificates, and that afterwards
they fled to Mexico upon Hopkins assur-
ance that they could not be brought
back again. He Is mortified because
since their arrest Hopkins has refused
to hold any communication with him
posing as a victim to his (Thompson's),
Vaccinations, whereas he is the primary
cause OF the forgeres. At the same
time he does not deny his guilt, thinks
that he ia Justly punished and though a
victim to consumption he proposes to
work out his sentence and. II his life Is
spared until 1t is completed, he will try
as far as possible TO recover his lost po-
sition In society.

Look at that monument. That marks

1t is not always best that the truth
should be told, but there is much
of truth in the utterances
OF Sitting Bull. In confirmation of his
statement we need ouly to contrast the
condition Of the red warriors Of the great
Sioux reservation with the condition OF
those Indian bands that have never ex.
hibited hostility to the government.
The Grows, o warlike people, have been
the allies OF the government. The Pom.
Gas, the Mandans, the Gros Ventres and
the Arickarees have abstalned from
hostility to the whites since the days of
Lewis and CLARK and they are neglected
and i'll fed and treated with contempt.
The fighting bands OF the
Sioux, on the contrary, are the receip-
tents Of the choicest bounty OF the gov
ernment and have only 10 ask and their
wants are instantly supplied, even to
rifles, ammunition and ponies. Sitting
Bull. though lndiscreet, was right and
the Grows begin to see it. The red
handed barbarians OF the Custer masss-
cree are the especial pets OF the commits
sary and quartermaster departments OF
the Indian service, while the peaceable
Indians of the Missouri river region
drag out miserable lives upon light
rations and insufficient clothing. It

in favor of division is now to be carried
